The story : American Julia has followed her husband Francis to his native Bucharest because his job has sent him there.

They take up residency in a lovely , furnished apartment.

Quickly , Francis is working many long hours.

Julia makes due by learning to speak Romanian , exploring around town and meeting the neighbors.

Then , one day , Julia notices a man , in the next building over. He seems to be watching her...

She tells Francis about the man , but just shrugs it off.

After a night out about town , Julia and Francis witness a crime scene.

Not knowing much of the language , Julia has to rely on Francis to tell her what is going on.

But she doesnt learn much.

The next day , Julia sees that same crime scene on the news and asks Francis about it once again.

He just explains that a woman was murdered.

At dinner that same evening with friends , Julia learns that there is a serial killer roaming the streets on Bucharest.

The killer has apparently killed three woman and one of his victims had survived a similiar attack.

While looking into the murders online , Julia watches a video by the surving woman.

She explains all the things that led up to her attack.

This really bothers Julia , just as much as the guy in the next building over from her , constantly watching her through the window.

When Julia is at the movies on day and believes the killer is behind her , she flees into a local market.

There , Julia thinks the same man from the movies has followed her inside the market.

The more she thinks about the situation , the more worried she becomes.

Julia believes the man who is watching her is also the serial killer stalking Bucharest but she cannot be certain.
